Kara, One Day At a Time!

[Kara29]

Sorry I have been gone so long.....I've been resting from a pretty serious operation that I had done 2 weeks ago. Unfortunately it did not help my original baseline pain of urgency.

All I can say is that I hope it worked for the fertility aspect of the surgery. He completely reconstructed my uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes and wrapped them in a barrier called intercede. I had a 0% chace of concieving before this operation. Now I have a 50% chance of concieving. :woohoo::woohoo::woohoo:

I have about 12 months to get pregnant. If by 6 months it's still not happening and my pain worsens, then he has another trick up his sleeve to tack my uterus up to my hip bone so it won't migrate back down to the pubic bone so fast. I will be taking a fertility drug called Clomid for a year. I took it for 2 years and didn't suffer much as a result. Some days were good and some were horrible.

ONE DAY AT A TIME! Send some baby dust our way......I just want one and then we will be done with it.

IC Women have a right to want to have kids too right? My whole medical team are on the same page for once! They are backing me up and doing whatever needs to be done to take care of me so I can have a happy and safe pregnancy......C-Section for sure because of the Vestibulectomy and the Pudendal Nerve Entrapment. So I won't have to go into labor. It will be scheduled and I go in and hopefully, a miracle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm trying to stay real optimistic as my doctors are.

Kara,

You will be a wonderful momma. I know your little angel baby is looking down from heaven at you and will be coming to momma soon!:pray::pray::pray:

[ICNDonna]

Anyone who wants a baby as much as you do should certainly have one!

Sending gentle hugs,
Donna

[GriffsMommy]

I agree with Donna. When you want a baby so bad you def deserve to have one. I hope the surgery does help and you are able to get pregnant. I know how badly I wanted my little guy and to have all the trouble you have had getting pregnant would have been so hard. :::baby dust::: being sent your way!! Good luck :grouphug:

[ICNJess]

Kara,

I have never understood why there are people in this world who can pop kid, after kid, after kid out and not want these kids or take care of them and then there are people who would be perfect mothers and fathers and cannot have children. It has never made any sense to me. You deserve a baby, you and your husband will make wonderful parents and I will keep you both in my prayers. I got a new email--did you get my email from the new address? If not, I'll re-send. Take care of yourself hun, we are all rooting for you!!!!

Lots of love,
Jess

Hi all,


I would like to talk:smile tee with someone on ICN who has had a bladder removal surgery or someone contmplating getting it done. I am growing worse with pain and continuous bladder infections. The doctor wants to discuss removal options with me.

Can someone talk to me about this operation. The nurses and medical people I know say dont have the opp...need to learn more about it.

Someone help we out please. I was put on narcotic patch when 2-3 percocets are offering no response to the pain.

Thanks all
Carolyn Eckert

[Kara29]

Feel free to PM me if you wish to further discuss my experiences with bladder removal. You can also go to the bladder removal board. There is a lot of support there regarding bladder removal. Perhaps if you have not already done so, the Moderator Judith can direct you on what sort of support you may need. U hope since you wrote this post, that the pain patches have kicked in for you.

Well Wishes,

Kara

Thank you I will keep you posted

Oh, I have a dream of a perfect little baby girl for you. It should happen; you were born to be a "maman." Life has already deprived you of too much. This is not too much to wish for.

If it's any comfort, my cousin Jill (who was a very late-in life-baby for her mother, and a twin, and consequently has serious congenital abnormalities of the reproductive tract) tried by every means possible to have a baby. After fifteen years of trying, she and her husband (and all of us) were blessed with a perfect, healthy, beautiful baby girl, just before Jill turned 40. There is always a chance, as long as you hold on to hope.

[sandramac]

:pray:Kara & Allen Prayers Love & Hugs of Hope and lot's of baby dust sent your way!
Love Sandra & Darin Izzy Ellla & Zoe Too!

Good luck to you and your husband , you will be a great mom. Is the best job in the world.:pray::pray::pray::pray:

[Kara29]

Thank You! Your Support And Kind Thoughts And Words Will Take Me Though This Year!

[runningemiles]

Just a word of encouragement. My doctor told me no chance of pregnancy w/o in vitro and this was after two years of trying and two months later we concieved with no help! I will be praying for you as I know the struggle of wanting to be a Mommy so bad. And it happens when you least expect it. The one month I got frusttrated and decided we would just adopt, I didn't take clomid, had sex ONE time, and then turned up pregnant. COMPLETE surprise! Keep your head up..........

[Kara29]

I wish I could just turn my head the other way and forget about it. But there are so many things you have to do while taking the Clomid. It's like there's no way to not pay attention to what has to happen throughout the month.

I'm so glad you got your miracle.

I truely believe in miracles and it's about time one happens to us.

Thank you for sharing your story!:hi:

well i am your biggest cheerleader and am lookin forward to going to your babyshower!

[Kara29]

The hormones are plunging me into a deep depression. So very tired!

Kara

[Berkshire Road]

That's rough. Those hormones are very hard to take, for most people. Just keep telling yourself that this is the one thing you want most in the world right now, and this is what you have to go through to get there.

I'm really sorry about the depression. It's a bad time of year, too. It's probably freezing where you are, but try to get outside for a bit every day. It helps.

Good luck.

[Sally939]

I wish you all the very best. I am sorry about the hormone depression. Is there anything like an ssri that would help with it? Personally ssri's hurt my bladder. Also, since you know it is hormones I wonder if it would do any good. I hope you get pregnant really soon and can stop the hormones. Hey, maybe with twins with the hormones and all.

[Kara29]

Unfortunately,

SSRI's hurt me too. All I can do is Therapy. Yes, the weather sucks at this time of year here in NY. I really want Spring to come so I can go outside and get some fresh air and take pictures of the flowers.

[MakinIT]
